The octave lick at at 2:11 is burned into my soul..lol.

Same....😭

Ok...I'd had a few🍸 when I wrote that so maybe I overstated it a little bit.🙃  To be more clear...that tutorial has changed my music life!  Here's how for now(I will struggle to articulate this but)...I'm an intermediate player at best, I've played Blues and Rock most of my life, and then lately, Jazz Guitar but something about Smooth Jazz is really grabbing me...where when I play along with you or to the backing track, it feels good and more importantly, I'm hearing what I want to play.  So that's the first huge change  and I'm super excited about this!!
Also, it's never been very clear to me the relationship between major and minor pentatonics and when to play them.  I find I much prefer the major scale and I'm one of those that loves the "sweet" notes, which is another discovery I found in this tutorial.  Some other puzzles are also starting to unlock... more on that later if I can describe it.
Question: the run you did starting at 1:17, what scale is that?

HP, hope you are well.  I was a member about a year ago and now I'm back.
This tutorial has changed my life!  This is the music I want to play.  I'm going to work on this(and the other smooth jazz tuts)... I'll holler if I have any questions.  Been playing for 40 years and I really found something here!  Thanks for sharing your knowledge and all your hard work putting these vids together!!  Stay safe...

Hey HP,
Another great tutorial here!  I can't wait till I can breeze thru these scales as effortlessly as you do.🤞  I can tap my foot when I play chords but it's a different ball game on leads and scales/impov for me.  Feels like I'm starting all over...🤦‍♂️.  Oh yeah, and I gotta relax too.  Thanks again!

Hi Gang,
New to the group..
Agree to all the above, all monsters.  My personal fav is probably Larry Carlton....until yesterday when I stumbled on this kid... he's 20 something.  Maybe the best I've ever seen??
Check this chit-out!.
